I seen some of those schools and recently heard from someone who grew up going back and forward to regular schools to blind schools throughout childhood from aged 6 to teen years of age 15. Going to these schools meant she spent a lot of her childhood living there on the school premises in dorms, paired with room mates, sometime alone when her room mate would get home sick and would go home. I was told at her youngest, the school she was sent to had been three to four hours away from home. Later she discovered had it not been for her mom, her dad would’ve given the school full custody and she wouldn’t have been only able to go home on weekends, holidays and the summer vacation cause he said he wanted her to learn how to survive in the world just in case she did lose her sight so he was going to allow the school to take her. What is your insights on this? Could you send your disabled child hours away to a school?
